“…Our results indicated that
in lake ecosystems was mainly regulated by sediment properties, such as pH, carbon quantity and quality (e.g., chemodiversity).
was promoted at lower pH (Figure 2a), likely because the lower pH facilitates acid‐catalyzed organic carbon decomposition (AminiTabrizi et al.,
2023), as well as the release or dissolution of mineral‐protected organic matter (Ding et al.,
2020; Groeneveld et al.,
2020).
was greater in the organic carbon rich sediments (Figure 2a; Figure S7a), which was consistent with results from riverine (Comer‐Warner et al.,
2018; Stegen et al.,
2023) and terrestrial forest ecosystems (Li et al.,
2020).…”
